The Belgium movie?The Brand New Testament (original French title Le tout nouveau testament)?is based on an equally provocative premise. It is a very good satirical comedy that despite its thought provoking and some may blasphematory is a heart warming movie with some fantastic acting.
in this movie, the protagonist is his God’s daughter and her goal is to save humanity.
Making that same change will make your logline more logical. Also by having a vulnerable protagonist, you introduce some kind of suspense making it more attractive. Otherwise it sounds like the all powerful being Jesus Christ is not happy and is going to kicks me butts. Who us going to stop him? Nobody can. End of.
Strange premise can make very good science-fiction movie, but the premise must be written in a coherent fashion and not turn into a gimmick. Jesus Christ is a badass run the risk of turning into gimmickry and ridicule.
A good example of science-fiction movie based on a weird premise is the?French movie?A mere mortal (original French title Simple mortel). When a linguist specialised in dead language starts receiving coded messages he must fulfil increasingly difficult missions to save humanity. In the movie the entire humanity is at risk but with an unlikely protagonist. It has no special effect and starts as a mundane slice of French life before veering toward the weird thriller.

Your logline does not have a inciting incident (I can’t see a connection between fighting against two thuggish police officers and the fate of humanity), a protagonist (is it Jesus Christ or his daughter), an antagonist, a goal (does he still want to sacrifice himself, save humanity, sacrifice his daughter, …).
Also usually the logline indicates the genre (satire, comedy, western, science-fiction, thriller, drama, action, …), but ?your logline does not give any indication. What is it a satirical comedy or a drama?
Christ living a normal life as a normal dude decides to defend himself against a brutal police force bringing him face to face with his estranged daughter who is trying to kill him.

Please restrict your posting of new versions of the same logline to the single original thread.
In order for Christ to be Christ, he needs to sacrifice himself and get resurrected. From your logline, it sounds like your Christ skipped the major shenanigans in the new testament and went on to live a normal life, and if that’s the case, it’s just a story about a guy trying to avoid being killed by his daughter.
Other than that, the plot is unclear and the premise confusing.
What is his goal? What does he need to achieve as a result of the threat from his daughter? And what does “…bringing him face to face with his estranged daughter…” mean? Do they come up to him on the street with her in custody and show them to each other? Is she a part of the police force and is leading them to catch him? Why would the police be after him in the first place? Why does she want to kill her own father? Is it because they became estranged?
No need to answer the above questions in a direct reply. These are only a few of the questions the logline raises and likely will confuse most people.
